Toaster Oven Baked Salmon w/ Sweet Chili Sauce

Ready in under half an hour, then nestled in a sea of edible greens, here's a melt-in-your-mouth salmon dish with plenty to serve for a buffet ~ or, to have cold leftovers the next day!

My Paleo Marin Rating:  4.5 Persimmons

Ingredients:

For the Salmon:

1 pound of salmon (photo is of Atlantic salmon @ $11.99/lb)
Fine sea salt
Edible mixed greens

For the Sauce:

1/4 cup sweet chili sauce
2 tablespoons coconut aminos
1 tablespoon rice vinegar
2-4 cloves garlic, minced
1 tablespoon grated fresh ginger
1 tablespoon honey
1/2 teaspoon chili oil (to taste)

Toppings:

Toasted sesame seeds
Black sesame seeds
Green onions, sliced into thin strips
Lime wedges

Directions:

Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F.

1. Cover the bottom and sides of a baking pan with foil. Very lightly oil the foil. Place the salmon in the pan, and lightly sprinkle with salt.

2. Whisk together the ingredients for the sauce. Brush 1/3 of the sauce over the top of the salmon.

3. Bake the salmon for 10 minutes. Remove from the oven and brush the salmon with 1/2 of the remaining sauce. Bake for another 2-5 minutes until the salmon is cooked through, and has an internal temperature of 145 degrees F.

4. Remove from the oven, and place the fish on a serving plate with the edible mixed greens. Cover the salmon with the remaining sauce. Sprinkle desired toppings over the salmon. Serve.
